Edited by: Sole Searcher on 06/01/2011 20:31:53 Edited by: Sole Searcher on 06/01/2011 20:31:22 When im scanning with the probes and pinpointing a signature, most of the time i get a small red dot or a large red sphere.
But then sometimes from a scan result, i get a circle drawn from a thin red line....What does this mean? What does it tell me about the signature im looking for?
Also occasionally i get two small red dots from the same signature.... what does this tell me? and which one of them to narrow down?
So far theres not been any sig that i haven't been able to scan down, so its not a problem, I just want to know what the red circled line means.
Thanks

Small red dot: You've got a signature that's covered by all of your probes, or enough of them that it can confirm exactly where it is.
Large red sphere: Only one probe caught the signature, and the hit is somewhere within that sphere.
Thin red circle: Two probes caught the signature, the signature is somewhere on that circle.
Two small red dots: Multiple groups of your probes caught the signature. It's a 50/50 shot as to which is the right one and which is a ghost. Sometimes you can move your probes in such a way as to cover both, or sometimes you'll need to cover one and if it's not there just move to where the other was by memory.

* Red Sphere means one of your Probes have picked up a Sig. * Red Circle The point in which 2 Probes dectecing the Sig Overlap. * Red Dot The spot where three probes have detected the Sig * Yellow all four probes have detected the Sig * Green Dot Sig Found * Two results one is a false positive so scan both.
You get less false positive the higher your skills are, if you are new to exploration get all skills to 3, a scan frig, sisters probes and 2 Gravity Capacitor Rigs, should run about 3 mil for all of it. It will make your life much easier while scanning. I use 5 Probes, four overlaping and one in the center so I do not loose the Sig.

This site has some handy info for you. The red circle thing is mentioned about 1/2 way down the page.
Probing Linkage
It says the red circle means the target is somewhere in that circle...not so sure that is 100% true. Multiple dots similarly mean that the target is somewhere between those dots....roughly :)
Just move your probes closer and reduce the scan range to get a better fix. It takes a while to get good at it.
